I ran a real tough B-Spec race yesterday. It was in the Nascar Championship. The track was Grand Valley, 8 laps, hard racing tires. You don't want to pit in this race and the game will auto-pit you if your tires get real bad. What I did was keep my driver real cool for the first 5 laps. DO NOT let him spin the tires or fish-tail at all. Then at the straight-a-way at the end of lap 5 start to pace up and overtake the other cars. I didn't have much rubber left on my rear tires when I finished and I won by .001 seconds (got that trophy, lol). I had my car's downforce set all of the way, transmission top speed at 199 and my brakes set at 7 front and 5 rear.

we need more info about the car but here's some tips:
add all of the downforce that you can (if adjustable)
soft racing tires (if allowed)
is it turbo? then switch from the high-range turbo down to the mid-range turbo
lighten the body as much as possible and add the chasis reinforcement
add the custom suspension package
add front brake bias (example: front 7 back 5). this allows you to brake into the turn

Cool. I bought the 1970 Mustang Trans-Cammer and tuned it up but couldn't race it. It says it's not a pre-1979 car. WTF?

I used it only for A-Spec. When I saw the B-Spec race, my PTSD from the A-Spec version kicked in and I just leaped right over those two races and went on to the next set of races. I think I ran the A-Spec Historic cup at least 20 times before I got the setup that was good to go. There is no way a B-Spec driver is going to drive the way I drove that car. I'm looking into the answer for this. I'll send you a message later.

Bain and I ran laps for a good hour. We mainly used it to tune out the cars. The community is pretty cool for the most part. If you want to run a few races for fun, add my pinakul account. I'll get Necro, Bain and some other to run a few races.
Also if you need some cars, i.e., the truck, let me know. I'll let you borrow.

Tip for Historic Race Car Cup:
Use the Dodge Challenger '70 with the following settings:
Aero 20, 50 These races are challenging and need some practice with some good blocking. But these settings work.

Some more helpful info. I always used overpowered cars in the beginning of B-Spec. The reason is that the driver you choose is always horrible. Don't keep ordering the driver to pace up. It sometimes takes a lap or two to catch up the leader to pass. I mostly use the "overtake" command. Another thing you will notice is that if you are destroying the competition in B-Spec, the mood of the driver will be in the blue rather than in the red. That means the driver is driving in a calm manner. However, this always translates to the driver driving slower than when he is slightly in the red. When in the red, the driver is prone to over drive the car and may cause spinouts. So make sure to balance out the mood of the driver to get optimal driving. If you are smoking the competition, command "pace up" every now and then in order to maintain the speed. Or if the driver ran a few good laps, command "maintain pace". But try to end the race with the driver mood in the blue.
Last thing to notice is that if you use a car for B-Spec, the tires may automatically change to comfort or sport, even if you have racing tire for the car. Then when you run the car again in A-Spec, you will have to reinstall the tires back to racing. If you don't you will be running A-Spec at a disadvantage. Tires that you have purchased can be reinstalled in the settings menu right before a race.
